My phone's been pestering me to update to 4.2, but having flashed it, I would rather stick with 4.1.2 for a while (yakju).
Is there a way to disable the constant update notification/popups?? I am rooted, so if I need a root app to do it, that's not a problem.

I was able to get rid of the update notice by deleting the update package from the /cache directory and then accepting the update. The update process started but then paused at a certain point. I just cancelled it and haven't been bothered by the notice to update since then.
Probably the easiest way. I went the route of downloading FOTAKill, which can be found here

Whichever route you choose, just make sure to reboot.

Want to block OTA updates on my 8.4 Wifi. Anyone know what apk/file(s) to rename/freeze to keep it from trying to update? I'm rooted, but still on the stock ROM.
I believe it will not update ota now that its rooted, simple test is to check for update, go through that, it should end up telling you something like, file have been change or modified or something and it wont let you update

It's trying to update & I just keep selecting the 3 hour postponement. I'm rooted and it's still trying. On my phone (GS4) I renamed the update apk, but I don't know the filename of the one on the tab.

On mine I went into 'settings/general/about device/software update' and unticked automatically check for updates. Then booted into recovery (stock recovery still on mine) and cleared the cache (which I believe deletes the OTA update file) then rebooted.
Since doing that I have not had any software update notifications and the OTA file hasn't reappeared.
My tab is on the original stock ROM and rooted with Towelroot.
How can I stop the updates on my phone from downloading the 5.0.1 update ad forcing the install. I can't force stop or cancel it. Whenever I connect to WiFi it auto starts the download process.
I've been keeping my WiFi off since I downgraded back to 4.4.4 but I want to be able to use my WiFi.
Any suggestions?
I've already tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/roll-to-4-4-4-5-0-1-ota-t3063452
It succesfully blocked the apps it has on it's block list which I thought was the update for the OTA but it didn't work.

I don't have com.samsung.sdm
When I run debloater it doesn't find it.
I ran the batch file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/disable-knox-ota-root-t2972263
I put com.samsung.sdm in there. It says it went all the way through and even received the "true" affirmation.
I restarted my phone. Turned on WiFi. and the update started downloading again.

hmmmm, not sure why. I gave the same instructions to a guy with a VZW note 4 and he reverted back and blocked OTA without any problems. I dont see how, but I wonder if the script is somehow carrier specific???? I found this one in the AT&T thread. Try that script and see if it makes a difference
THAT DID IT!!!! Thank you so much mademan420!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Good deal, glad I could help!!!
Did anyone ever determine if once the update block is run if the phone could be updated again?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, reverting the block or factory resetting the phone will allow you to update, did it myself when lollipop came out.
Here's my story. i had the new update brick my phone. i managed to backdate it to the I317UCUCNJ1 that worked previously, only for it to start begging for an update again and brick again i backdated once more, then deleted everything i could for the updates. now the Phone wont update, but it notify's me every damn day, several times, to get the update. i click ok and it just closes out, but how can i get this off
the problem is, the phone is rooted and it keeps bricking. if i flash it back to the previous version, what are my options? i've never had success with triangle away and i'd hate to really do some damage. its time for a new phone soon but i'm holding on to the 2 for now.
thanks for any help
If the phone is rooted...
Download the pro version of titanium backup from the play store....and freeze the software update apk from within titanium backup....and done...
The free method would be too locate the update apk and delete it using a root explorer app....
Either way....those nag screens for an update will stop...
Note:
UCUCNJ2 Update provides a partial patch for the stagefright exploit..
It is assumed that Samsung and ATT will be releasing another patch to fully isolate the stagefright bug...
If you want to stay fully protected....you could use an AOSP rom such as cyanide or CM 12.1 official as they are already fully patched.....but I'm not sure what OS you prefer...
I use both cyanide and CM12.1 official as I don't like bloated Samsung roms....g
Hey guys, I'm on that clean 13B image that has been debloated and rooted, and I love that image so much I don't want Marshmallow update. With that said it keeps popping up on my phone to install now or later, which tells me it downloaded on its own because i have the Wifi disabled. Is it to late to disable OTA updates?

Check /cache/fota and see if the OTA file is there. You should be able to delete it with a root file manager.
See this for disabling update:

Open Titantium backup then freeze the app/item called System updates 1_14_10_0 - there's two of them, the second one seemed to actually turn off the notification. I successfully downloaded the file to upload it here and then re-froze them and it hasn't bugged me at all to install. You'll have to unfreeze that to get it to even allow you to look at the system updates page in settings again.
Dear OP,
All you need to do is rename, freeze, or delete /priv-app/LGDMSClient(folder)/LGDMSClient.apk
Any root explorer works. I used es file explorer. It's free.
A couple hours ago my phone with unlocked bootloader, twrp and magisk root installed an OTA update without me initiating it. This failed and the phone was stuck in twrp recovery and couldn't boot until I flashed a stock rom through fastboot and restored my backups.
Now I want to prevent this from happening again. How do I block the phone from checking for OTA updates?
I will have to install them manually anyway so the OTA checking is not helpful.
Same thing happened to me except I was dumb enough to try and install myself the update... You can install Titanium Backup and freeze the Motorola Update app. Also, you can go under dev options and disable automatic updates (this alone didn't work for me).
How to prevent OTA updates, without root, please?
I followed this guide, the method 4 worked for me when my phone was rooted.
http://www.droidviews.com/disable-ota-notifications-android-devices/
With help from the Google, I finally recalled how I'd done it in the past.
Initially, I thought rooting would stop OTA updates, but that may have been prior to Marshmallow or with SuperSU.
This time, I used Titanium Backup (must be rooted) to freeze the MOTOROLA UPDATE SERVICE app.
As soon as it was frozen, the OTA notification disappeared from the notification bar and I gave not seen it return, for a couple days.
Yay! I didn't want to go beyond the stock firmware version that is available and I really didn't want Oreo.
Another way is to use a firewall app.
Also you can just add Motorola's address to your 'host' file to block it
Im the opposite, I want the notifications, without the automatic installation.
Wonder if I changed the permissions of the folder the updates download to, would that prevent automatic install?
also, there is an option in developer options, to turn off OTA.
